Mystery and desire cloak the Scottish Highlands Unruly. Unmarried. Unapologetic. Catriona Mackenzie's reputation precedes her everywhere she goes. Her beloved late aunt Zelda taught Cat to live out loud and speak her mind, and that's exactly what she does when Zelda's legacy--a refuge for women in need--comes under fire. When her quest puts her in the path of the disturbingly mysterious Hamlin Graham, Duke of Montrose, Cat is soon caught up in the provocative rumors surrounding the dark duke. Never one to retreat, Cat boldly goes where no one else has dared for answers. Shrouded in secrets, a hostage of lies, Hamlin must endure the fear and suspicion of those who believe he is a murderer. The sudden disappearance of his wife and the truth he keeps silent are a risk to his chances at earning a coveted parliamentary seat. But he's kept his affairs tightly held until a woman with sparkling eyes and brazen determination appears unexpectedly in his life. Deadly allegations might be his downfall, but his unleashed passion could be the duke's ultimate undoing.
Curiosty killed the cat or did it just ignite passion?

"Tempting The Laird" by Julia London 2018 (Highland Grooms #5)
Catriona MacKenzie was an independent Highland gal with a sparkle in her eye and the truth on her tongue. Unmarried (she found herself) and having just lost her favorite Aunt Zelda, she was manipulated into going to her Uncle Knox (Lord Norwood) for a visit.
While visiting her Uncle at Dungotty, she met the Duke of Montrose whose seat was the great estate Blackthorn Hall. There were rumors that he killed his wife. Being as she was sooo bored and curious she decided she wanted to know what really happened. We all know what curiosity does- it kills the cat- but in this case curiosity stirred passions in Catriona that she never believed she would experience and Hamlin Montrose was the man for the job. Great Book!
